I FOUND AN ANSWER SEE INFO BELOW. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SHOW THIS AS CLOSED
BUT IT IS. WORKED JUST GREAT!!
From your description, I understand that when trying to perform updates, the
error code 0x800704DD is received. You find the following registry key is
missing.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\SensLogn
You attempt to add a new key, but failed. If I have misunderstood your
concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
I understand the inconvenience you have experienced. Please be assured that
I will do my best to help you.
This issue most likely occurs when the following registry key or its sub key
is missing or corrupt.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify
At this time, let's refer to the following steps to troubleshoot this issue.
Step 1: Backup the Registry
=====================
As we need to modify some registry keys to troubleshoot this issue, let’s
perform the following steps to backup the current Registry first.
1. Click "Start", click "Run", type "regedit" (without quotations), and
click "OK".
2. Select "My Computer" (the root node) in the left pane, click "Export"
under the "File" menu, choose "All" under "Export" range, select "Desktop" in
the "Save in" box, type "backup" in "File" Name, and then click "Save".
Please Note: The backup file is on the Desktop and named backup.reg. We can
simply restore the registry by double-clicking the backup.reg file. After we
have completed the troubleshooting and the issue has been resolved, we can
delete this file.
3. Close the Registry Editor.
Then, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Restore the relevant Registry Key
===============================
1. Click "Start", "Run", type: "notepad C:\fix.reg" (without quotations) and
press "Enter". Choose "Yes" when you are prompted.
2. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad
window.
